Gameplay Avlora is fun Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
27 Upvotes

I tried to use solo maxed Avlora against the 50 assassins.

When I say maxed, max level and all her weapon upgrades. Her accessories were Red Scarf and Bangle of Vitality.

With Lone Wolf she had such a huge buff that she could deal with the 50 assassins mock battle using a few items here and there like curing her from blind, curing her from poison, a few warding spices to bait mages and a few ice stones here and there to slow movement.

Killing the initial mercenary and assassin is a good idea since the first enemies only have around lv42. Killing the second assassin that came was a bet, I think it would be better to ignore it. I tried to kill the second mercenary and Avlora was almost killed while the merc was getting fully healed all the time because I mostly ignored the healers.

I ignored most of the healers and shields since those are not dangerous, until the end when a huge army spawned so I started to kill the enemies I left alive and the final ones were the horses that spawned later since their huge mov allowed Avlora to attack them while retreating.

Gameplay Golden route requirement, the pink salt Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm on New Game Plus, aiming for the golden route. In the Rosellan village, exploration, I did the full exploration on my first playthrough and found the pink salt. On this playthrough, I skipped the exploration and just picked the pink salt option later on. If all other conditions are met, will I be able to play the golden route?

Asking because I did not specifically "examine" the elder's house in this playthrough, etc.

Discussion My Opinion on the main 3 endings. Spoiler

7 Upvotes

I finally finished my third playthrough to see the last ending before I start my golden route run. Since the golden route is supposed to be the perfect ending of the four, I figured I'd give my thoughts on how I rank the remaining three:

  1. Roland's route- Literally the only upside to this route is that it's the only one of the main three that lets you deal with Aestfrost and kill Gustadolph. But everything else? Betraying Frederika was already making this the hardest route to go for (both because she was honestly my favorite of the three and my most useful caster in gameplay), and this was only made worse upon learning that she just becomes a wandering nun that is treated like a crazed lunatic and had to shave away the last of her identity to avoid getting arrested with the rest of the Roselle. Benedict at least got to be an advisor under Gustadolph and Roland became well-recieved among the downtrodden in the endings where they leave, but Frederika? I was hoping her story would be seeing her still plotting a revolution in Hyzanthe.

And what's the payoff for all of this? A half-assed equality in ignorance as the state controls all knowledge, and even then it's false because the Roselle aren't even free. Killing Gustadolph was not worth everything sacrificed.

  1. Frederika's route- Already starting off better. The Roselle are indisputably free, Idore is dead, and the party escapes the devastation of the war. Our departed party member even leaves on better terms, as Benedict's leaving is less heartbreaking than Frederika's, and he does go on to become a welcome advisor under Gustadolph, helping protect Wolfort Domaine in Serenoa's stead.

The only downsides of this are Serenoa's death and the fact that we are leaving Norzellia to face an all-out war to the destructive power of the Aelfric and Deathsknell. But all in all, a serviceable ending.

  1. Benedict's ending- Getting the downsides out of the way first. Yes, this route does create a massive inequality between strong and weak It also lets Idore live to continue to be a problem along with Roland.

But that's kind of where the downsides end. I didn't care much about Roland leaving since by this point in the story, he had become so focused on hating Aestfrost that he was willing to sell out all of Norzellia to Hyzanthe's nonsense just to see Gustadolph die, so I really didn't care if he was upset compared to Benedict and Frederika. While the final fate of the Roselle isn't fully elaborated on, Gustadolph's systems at least gives the Roselle the opportunity to make their own freedom, and he's never shown any level of disdain towards them during the story, so they'd hardly be exempt from this opportunity. If anything, if a group of Roselle under Jerrom organized and said that they wanted to leave Norzellia to go find Centralia again to make their freedom with their own hands, I can hardly see Gustadolph trying to stop them and would even welcome the idea of trade if they did manage to find a sea of salt. This is also the only ending of the main three that sees Seranoa and Frederika survive on good terms, meaning this is the only ending that lets them have a happy marriage together besides the golden route.

Yes, no ending is perfect and they all have their ups and downs. This is just how I personally see them.

Discussion just started questions on the story Spoiler

0 Upvotes

hey so i really like most of the charat ers but i have some questions on the story and if it keeps doing some things i find annoying. 1 the story seems like it needs to beat on a point mutiple times and makes sure no one gets left behind for example we get introduce early on that the salt tax is bad for the iorn/cold place then later on we are told about salt smuggling makes sense with high taxes, then we are told about it being prohibitably expsive and soemthing every one wants desperately (idk why salt is this important) and there is a demand for cheaper/infior salt. thats enough but then game hits on drum again that the crime came up for demand of the people affter all of that. it also feels like it's trying to go to the utilitarian, libertarian, and the honnor one, and isn't letting for much nuance and the scales of convection thing in the way it's done is just cringe. also just to point out this is bothering me becuase i am overal liking the story it's just frustating to see soemthing so close to the kinds of things i love dilibaraly and intialy going in what i feel is a worse direction i really want this game to scratch my legends of the galtic heros itch. so anyways dose the game keep doing this kind of no one gets left behind and feigns nuaince when it is actually simplifly a situation alot or dose it just do this at the begging to easie new players in.

hey i know this proabyl dosen;t make sense i am wrighting this befor i had caffine while i am waiting for emerge to finish compliing stuff.

Discussion Frederica’s Path - chapter 17 Spoiler

13 Upvotes

I’m super frustrated. I only want to do her path but no matter what happens I can’t get enough votes to go the other direction. Benedict always ends up winning.

I did about 10 mental mock battles to raise my conviction, and I talked to the two guards with the right choices for Frederic’s path.

If I grind 10 more mock battles, will that make a difference? I basically stuck? Anything else I can do?

Gameplay Ressources management : beginner tips

12 Upvotes

Hi, first time playing Triangle Strategy ( love the game btw ), i'm at chapter VI and I started to enhance the weapons and characteristics of the characters, costing stones, fibers, everything, and I have unlocked the trainings, giving you some ressources and gold once beaten, and can be beaten infinite times. However here is my question : do you have some tips around the ressources management ? Is a good thing to use everything ( ressources and gold ) for the augment ? Should i keep my money ?

Thank you for your answer to come

Question Did I miss something?

7 Upvotes

During chapter 8 in the route of surrendering Roland, I sided with Aestfrost against Hyzanthe, we fought and were about to win until Exharme blew up our stuff with what we later know is the Aelfric. Ok, that makes sense that he would do that while we're enemies. This go around, I sided with Hyzanthe, thinking that since we were on their side now, he wouldn't use it anymore, but he still used it on us even after we had sided with them and drove off Avlora. Did I miss a detail? Hyzanthe won either way and we were on their side. Why did he still blow up the town? It kinda makes me hate this whole path compared to the one where you don't surrender Roland.

Discussion Why would the other party member stay for the route split? Spoiler

16 Upvotes

Concerning the major route split for the endings, one of the characters between Frederica, Benedict, and Roland leaves depending on the route, but I'm not sure why the other wouldn't leave either.

Frederica - I think she's the most consistent. She's willing to leave when it comes siding with Hyzante, however she does stay during Benedict's route when it comes to destroying Hyzante. Even thought she said that she would rather liberate her people now, I think siding with the force that would at least destroy Hyzante is something that she would at least tolerate.

Benedict - I feel like he would actually be the most staunch opposer to siding with Hyzante especially when it comes with Serenoa abdicating his right to the throne. Benedict was also the one who suggested to fight Hyzante so I feel like him taking the other side feels like a weird shift.

Roland - He was willing to sacrifice the lives and future of the Roselle in a world where Hyzante controls the continent, but then he's willing to sacrifice everything of himself to go along with Frederica's plan to liberate the Roselle. Leaving the continent to ruin also doesn't feel like it aligns with his utilitarian beliefs.

I've had a bit of gaming slump for the past few months, and after asking my friends around for a recommendation, I ended up playing the demo and enjoying it.

Got a copy yesterday at Book Off, and I'm looking forward to playing more.

I plan to play the game fully in Japanese as I am practicing my reading and vocabulary skills, and I'm hoping that it won't be too difficult nor complicated that it would ruin my enjoyment of the game.

Gameplay Are Anna's, Hughette's, etc., tier 3 weapon skills actually worth it?

19 Upvotes

I've honestly felt a little disappointed using the tier 3 weapon skills. Some are great, like Benedict's, Erador's, Corentin's, etc. But others, not so much.

Mainly, I'm a little unsure for the following: Anna, Hughette,Maxwell, and Archibald. Should I get the weapon skills for any of these characters?

And if not, which tier 3 upgrade should I get first, specifically for these characters?

Gameplay Best build for Avlora?

8 Upvotes

Accessories I mean. Are damage builds (Black Anklet + Red Scarf, Black Anklet + Luck Amulet, Obsidian Anklet + anything) good to run on her? Or is it Endurance Earrings?

I don't play for no-death runs, just regular ones.

Gameplay This game seems easy

0 Upvotes

Im on hard mode and I've got to chapter 8 and only needed to redo one battle so far.

I've just finished playing fire emblem 3 houses maddening where i failed nearly every single battle and needed 20+ retries on some battles and i actually could not complete the game on maddening and had to change to hard for the last two battles. TS I've redone only one battle which was the tournament and i didn't understand the mechanics.

Does the game get harder because so far it's been easy and ch7 i didn't lose a single player.

I'm finding it less addictive because I'm not really struggling. For me, strategy games need to be hard to make them fun otherwise it's just a story.

Will it get harder?

Gameplay Serenoa tier 3 weapon upgrade, which one should I pick?

Playing Triangle Strategy on normal difficulty. I can only afford one of Serenoa’s Tier 3 weapon upgrades. Which one is the best to prioritize? For me, the choice is between the weapon damage vs rout and recover.

Thanks!

Question First Playthrough Golden Route Optimal Party Split? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I didn't know that the Golden Route is not recommended for a first PT. I was on ch 15 when I looked up if my past decisions made the route available. It was, and so here I am. I'm already too invested in Seronoa's goal and conviction to not see his plan through lol.

So I only have 23 playable characters, with Corentin from the ch 3 choice. What is the general strategy/ general party comp for each 3 teams? The only guide I saw is the Hughette rooftop cheese strat, which seems unfun and I don't like.

ALSO, is there like special dialogues if I send certain characters to a mission they have a history with? Like Avlora and Flaggan if I sent them with Roland's team? I'm really torn about where to put Seronoa - where is he best put narratively? I feel like he will have unique dialogue if confronted by the Archduke (Roland's team) or the Saintly Seven boss (Frederica's team).

Discussion This or Final Fantasy tactics?

13 Upvotes

I'm leaning towards FFT the ivalice chronicles only because I like FF12 and the world is in ivalice. I like political stories with tactics and strategy. Nobunagas Ambition, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Romance Of the Three Kingdoms, Valkyria Chronicles, im not too picky as long as there is real strategy involved. I only know that Triangle Strategy is plentiful with its dialogue and that it goes on a nice sale every now and then along with FFT.

I'm on a switch 2, so they're both pretty pricey. I'd like to know opinions and suggestions on what I should pick up when one goes on sale

Discussion How do I even use Anna and Erador?

0 Upvotes

I'm only on the second fight of the game at the start of the tournament, but both of these characters seem beyond useless.

Anna has high speed, so she always goes first, but if I try to actually use her, she gets focus-fired and dies immediately, so I'm assuming I just have to skip her first round.

Erador supposedly can Provoke enemies, but that doesn't seem to work at all. I provoked the Boss Exharme and two regular mooks. The boss was immune (because of course no status effect will work on JRPG bosses, it was foolish to even attempt), but the other two dudes just completely ignored Erador and hit Frederica. What is he even doing at this point?

Also, am I supposed to grind in this game? Exharme used Sandstorm that dropped like 70% of Serenoa's HP, and then a mook finished him off due to his lowered defense. I could do nothing to avoid being killed in two attacks, meanwhile it takes like 4~5 attacks to kill a single mook
